J. Edgar is a candid depiction of the life of one of our nations most infamous Patriots.  J. Edgar Hoover, who for those not Historically savvy, and not to be mistaken with president Hoover, Fathered the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as we know it today. As a public figure head for law enforcement for over five decades Hoover has worked with eight presidential administrations and was responsible for the major crackdowns that spearheaded the government crime fighting units of the 1920-30s. Being responsible for the arrests of some of the nation’s most notorious gangsters were only part of the highlights of his career, along with fighting terrorists on a domestic front and gathering political corruption intel. But true to form, producer/director Clint Eastwood’s integrity to historical events did not overbear on the personal and emotional battles the characters struggle with. Though, the talented Mr. DiCaprio, who has in the past, played similar emotionally distraught rolls, out shines himself in this film. The raw talent that was exhibited in this film is unmatched. Each individual actor has completely embodied his or her character with the poise and prestige Mr. Eastwood demands with every film. With powerfully dramatic scenes in this film an Oscar nomination is surly in its future. DiCapiro (J. Edgar) brings his A-game in this depicting tale, and newcomer Amie Hammer
(Clyde Tolson) submerges himself into his role as Hoover’s right-hand-man. The film chronologies Hoovers career with the FBI as well as provides an intricate depiction of his life outside of the bureau. With an original score provided by Clint Eastwood himself, it was hard not to feel what this was being portrayed by this start-studded cast. Judy Dench (Annie Hoover) as J.Edgars mother depicts a picture of a strong and loving, and yet slightly authoritarian relationship. Naomi Watts (Helen Gandy) plays Hoover’s dutiful personal secretary. The film also includes rising thespian Dennis O’Hare (Albert Osborne), seasoned veteran Lea Thompson (Lela Rogers) and a cameo by Clint Eastwoods son Kyle Eastwood. The film is lengthy, but every moment is utilized to keep the audience captivated and enthralled in this biography. All in all the cinematography and detail in this film is captivating. To Eastwood and DiCaprio, one can say that with age these two actors make a superb team in this Oscar worthy film.
